Congratulations to the Longford and now Leinster Football Champions 2018 Mullinalaghta . A truly remarkable and heroic achievement. Gives hope to every small Club in Ireland. Enjoy the bonfires and the Party 🎈 @TheLaurelsM@RTEgaa

So they came home to the half parish to be welcomed like this on an amazing night but the new Leinster club champions went firstly to the village cemetery in Mullinalaghta for a private event - remembering all those who went before them in search of victory.
